Into March and another massive playlist today...


...started with my new LP, which will be out on Friday - my 10th release since lockdown began last Spring...

Then, reminded myself of my last LP, which is less than a month old and which is doing quite well on the Bandcamp...

Then, under good skies...


...started on the updating of the "album a month" "one track each" playlist, following the recent re-re-compile...

The tunes from this lasted all day really...

Tasty egg on toast for breakfast...


...as breakfast too awaited the birds...


At lunchtime, down to the town to post an order, noting two new places due to open soon...

A weigh your own food place...


...and a Lebanese food place...


Looking forward to those...

As night drew in, the playlist continued to soundtrack WFH...





...while Anne prepped a superb lamb chilli dish...


...with flatbread...


I am locked down with the best!

Late on, I sought out a couple of 2CD sets, bought purely because Brian Eno likes Doo Wop, to post onto the Twitter re a Doo Wop conversation that was occurring...


Other than that, a close third on "University Challenge" and the second of "Unforgotten" which, like "Bloodlands" last night is shaping up well...

Some rockabilly and some Roy Wood's Wizzo Band almost ended the day...

But, last thing, I found the Alice Cooper Band's Band Meeting on Youtube and started watching that - some good insights...

Caused me to seek out music by ace guitarist Nita "Hurricane" Strauss's dad from the 1970's, on George Harrison's label..

That, plus other stuff downloaded today, will be added to the collection tomorrow...

For now though, lights out...

Highlight of the Day : As is the case on many days, Anne's cooking...
